Nova Launcher, the most popular third-party launcher for Android, is shutting down after developer Kevin Barry left Branch, the company that acquired it in 2022. The app, once the default choice for users who wanted control over their home screens, will no longer receive updates and will eventually stop working. Loyal fans, including myself, are mourning the loss of a tool that defined Android customization for more than a decade.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nova-Launcher-is-shutting-down-for-good.1108950.0.html
Another long-time Nova Launcher user here. Once it stops working it's probably yet another shove on me towards iPhone.
Yeap, I've seen more people share the same sentiments. There's something about Nova Launcher that lacks in the other launchers and it's a shame they've decided to kill it.
I stopped using it because gestures doesn't work with it on xiaomi,still the best launcher out there.
What launcher does Barry recommend?
